President Zelensky should resign from now on
Lavrov and Blinken will discuss a prisoner exchange
Washington ready to return Viktor Bout to Russia
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky “should not be offended that part of Ukraine will be called Rus”, said the official spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. Her statement came in response to the Ukrainian president’s declaration earlier today that Ukraine is the only legitimate historical successor to Kievan Rus.
“Prince Volodymyr, then don’t be offended that part of Ukraine will be called Rus. He said it himself,” she wrote on her profile on the Telegram social network.
Zelensky’s statement was made on the occasion of July 28, when Ukraine first celebrated the Day of Ukrainian Statehood. The Ukrainian leader noted that Ukraine is not “autonomy and province”, but the heir to the achievements of Prince Igor, Princess Olga, Yaroslav the Wise and Vladimir Monomakh.
“We are not a colony, we are not an autonomy, we are not a province, but an indivisible and independent state that is at least one and a half thousand years old, when Key, Shchek, Horiv and Lybed founded the capital of Ukraine. She (Ukraine) is the only legitimate heir of Kievan Rus, the achievements of our rulers Askold and Dir, the prophetic Oleg, Prince Igor, the Equal-to-the-Apostles Princess Olga, Vladimir the Great, Yaroslav the Wise, Vladimir Monomakh, “he said.
In his address, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine expects to become one of the guarantors of European energy security in the future.
“We are preparing to increase the export of electricity to consumers in the European Union. Despite such a war, we ensured the connection of the Ukrainian energy network with the energy system of the whole of Europe in a record short time,” he said.
The President of Ukraine added that the country will gradually become one of the guarantors of European energy security thanks to its own electricity production.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova also commented that, in her opinion, Ukrainian President Zelensky has bored the world community and that is why they are using his wife, Elena, for propaganda purposes, because they could not change his communication format and his paramilitary image “without an impossible victory “.
“Zelensky’s resource is completely exhausted, the image is hopelessly rotten, so it is no longer served without seasoning. Now on the political menu, the dish is called “Zelenski pod Elena”, Zakharova wrote.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman’s comments in response to Zelensky came amid an official announcement by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that Moscow and Washington had agreed to hold an official conversation between him and Russia’s top diplomat, Sergey Lavrov. The date and time of the conversation, the first official between the two since February 24, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, were not announced.
The goal of the dialogue is the exchange of prisoners – the American Paul Wheeler, sentenced to 10 years in prison in Russia for espionage, and the basketball star Brittney Greener, detained months ago in Moscow for possession of a prohibited narcotic substance. In return, Washington is expected to offer the return to Russia of Viktor Bout, the international arms dealer who is serving a 25-year sentence in the US.
Ramzan Kadyrov promised
Chechens will storm every city for Putin
Our anger turns enemies into dust, along with their insidious plans, Ramzan Kadyrov insisted.
The president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that Chechen battalions stationed on the front line in Ukraine are ready, “by order of the supreme commander”, President Vladimir Putin, to storm every settlement.
“No matter what threats the enemies throw, Chechen special forces officers will not be embarrassed at all. During their centuries-old history, they have repeatedly tried to sow the seeds of fear in the hearts of the warriors of vast Russia, but the enemies only incur their wrath,” he wrote on the Telegram social network.
This anger, the head of Chechnya emphasized, “turns enemies into dust along with their insidious plans.”
Kadyrov pointed out that what the West presents as the true values of modern society will be shattered. At the same time, the authorities in Kyiv must understand that “they will be overtaken by the consequences” of what they “have been doing for eight long years”, the president of the Caucasian republic insisted.
